Windows Messenger Still Runs In Outlook XP...

ShoeHornOPlenty

Even after I have unchecked the option to have Outlook XP run Messenger when I launch the program, it still runs a process in the background that enables people to see my online status and send me messages even though Windows Messenger is not running in my system tray or taskbar.

Can;t re-install messenger after uninstalling it

Onawa

I like thousands of other XP users chose to at least disable Messenger when XP first came out but un-hiding it and uninstalling it. Things worked great. Then after SP-1 for XP Professional was release I chose to uninstall Messenger the conventional way.
